Yan Qingwen said, “Our situation is not suitable for frequent game play. The doll games are mostly competitive, and going in inevitably leads to infighting. What matters now is to safely escort Li Li and the object in his possession to Shanghai.”
He paused, then added, “I hope nothing has happened in Shanghai.”
Shen Mo asked him, “If you’re in a hurry to escort someone, why did you come to Hangzhou?”
Yan Qingwen was silent for a moment.
The others around him also fell silent.
Shen Mo picked up a piece of firewood and threw it into the fireplace.
The flames were suddenly suppressed, then suddenly flared back up, burning fiercely.
“Before we entered the fog, we did not know that there was a maze inside.”
Yan Qingwen spoke again.
“After coming out of the maze, our physical abilities had upgraded and we obtained five puzzle pieces. We believed at that time that the puzzle pieces were the key to our research. Unexpectedly, in the subsequent game, we had to use up our game exemption of the puzzle pieces. Li Li is worried if the puzzle pieces, now devoid of their exemption, still hold enough research value to allow SCO researchers to crack the doll game?”
“So you went?” Tan Xiao asked incredulously. “Just for a research sample? Wow, you guys are fearless!”
Li Li couldn’t help but interject, “We didn’t expect the maze to change! We thought any place with fog would turn into a desert and that we could get the puzzle pieces as long as we got out of the desert. Who would’ve known that the maze in Hangzhou would turn out like that!”
The inertia of human thinking.
If you find a box on the road, open it and find a pair of shoes inside, when you see a second box exactly the same, you would instinctively judge: there is a pair of shoes in the box.
“We were too hasty,” Yan Qingwen explained calmly. “After our physical abilities were upgraded, we all got a bit too excited and neglected the maze numbers that the game system mentioned when settling the scores.”
Bai Youwei said, “The five puzzle pieces without the exemption are useless to you anyway. Why not give them to me?”
Yan Qingwen was slightly startled, ” You want to collect the puzzle pieces?”
Li Li was shocked. “We don’t even know how many pieces there are in total! How can we collect them?!”
“In life, we always need a goal,” Bai Youwei chuckled.
Tan Xiao also chimed in, “Yeah, they’re useless to you guys anyway. Just give them to us~”
Instinctively, Li Li clutched his pocket tightly, where the puzzle pieces were stored. The pieces were hard-won, and although they were indeed useless to them now it still hurt so much to part with them!
“If we can get out of here, we will give them to you.” Yan Qingwen said.
“Boss Yan!” Li Li and Su Man exclaimed almost simultaneously.
Yan Qingwen waved his hand and looked at Bai Youwei, “It is indeed useless to us. As for research material, the three pieces from the Hangzhou maze are enough. If we can leave here, it can serve as a gift for our encounter.”
Bai Youwei smiled slyly and glanced sideways at Pan Xiaoxin at her side, “Xiaoxin, learn from it. This is true cunning – don’t spread out the hunting falcons till the hares appear. He’s trying to curry favor while making an outright deal.”
Pan Xiaoxin:
Yan Qingwen smiled faintly, “If you think it’s not appropriate, we don’t need to make this deal.”
“Sure, we should make a deal,” Bai Youwei smiled gleefully. “As long as you take us out, we’ll take those five puzzle pieces, and we’d also like to reserve the other three pieces you have.”
Yan Qingwen:
Li Li couldn’t help but say: “You are just too greedy ”
“Li Li.” Yan Qingwen stopped him, a gentle smile playing on his handsome face, “This is a good thing, at least it shows Miss Bai has confidence.”
